[QUESTION] Installation of 1.8 to Laravel 9.5.2 failed

[fpolli]

Package version, Laravel version

1.8/9.5.2

Because of another issue I had, I decided to try installing Laravel-Doctrine into a clean install of Laravel and see if my issue did not recur.

I created the laravel 9.5.2 project with composer and all went well. I then cd into the project folder and run:

composer require laravel-doctrine/orm

and this was the output:

`./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update laravel-doctrine/orm

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

- Root composer.json requires laravel-doctrine/orm * -> satisfiable by laravel-doctrine/orm[1.0.0, ..., 1.8.1].

Use the option --with-all-dependencies (-W) to allow upgrades, downgrades and removals for packages currently locked to specific versions.
You can also try re-running composer require with an explicit version constraint, e.g. "composer require laravel-doctrine/orm:*" to figure out if any version is installable, or "composer require laravel-doctrine/orm:^2.1" if you know which you need.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

I remember that this happened when I installed into my existing laravel project and I used -W to install. I have no idea what that did.

Thanks

either use -W as suggested
or remove the composer.lock file and vendor folder

just look at the output form using -W, you will likely see it just downgrades a few dependancies, there should be no issues with what it downgrades as laravel/framework likely allows multiple version, but new projects it will have installed a version higher than laravel-doctrine/orm 1.8 allows

  - Downgrading doctrine/instantiator (2.0.0 => 1.5.0)
  - Downgrading doctrine/lexer (3.0.0 => 2.1.0)

Try "^2@dev" for laravel-doctrine/orm

[dps.lwk]

which php version?
just curious, it should not matter much if 8.1 or 8.2

I believe 8.2.

Try "^2@dev" for laravel-doctrine/orm

I will try that
